Secretary Solis placed a call to Governor Rell of Connecticut to congratulate her on the recent approval of Connecticut's Unemployment Insurance (UI) Modernization application. ETA subsequently notifed the Department of the Treasury to transfer the UI modernization funds totalling $29.2 million into the Connecticut State Account.
Region 3, Atlanta, will represent the ETA at Congressman Sanford Bishop's four meetings in the 2nd Congressional District taking place April 15-16, 2009. The purpose of the meetings is to discuss the Labor Department's Recovery Act program, funds and methods of obtaining the funds.
The Government Accountability Office held an Entrance Conference to brief ETA about their Recovery Act-related oversight activities and plans. The GAO is required to issue reports to Congress every 60 days on their activities.
ETA anticipates the release of several Recovery Act-related Training and Employment Guidance Letters (TEGLs) this week regarding: Recovery Act-funded NEGs; the use of Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) Funds made available by the Recovery Act; Financial Reporting; and a change to TEGL 14-0, clarifying issues related to the implementation of the Workforce Investment Act and Wagner-Peyser formula funds under the Recovery Act.
Secretary Solis announced a National Emergency Grant award of $2,409,877, with $1,874,130 released initially, in response to layoffs throughout southern Missouri.
The ETA's Region 2 Administrator attended the 26th Annual National Association of Job Training Assistance Conference in Baltimore, MD to present "ARRA: Guidelines for Implementing Stimulus Money for Training Programs."
